Martin has broad experience in the agricultural game, including previous roles in agricultural finance, grain marketing, the wine industry, as well as having hands on experience on the family farm at Tumby Bay. He maintains a continued involvement in the property through a White Suffolk Enterprise. He has a large agricultural network, which predominantly stems from studying at Roseworthy along with time in the ag industry.

Martin enjoys both the practical side of farming along with the analytical elements that help fine tune farming enterprises. He enjoys the industry and vast array of fields that encompass it and keep it continually interesting. Outside of work Martin enjoys spending time with family and friends and is particularly happy when this includes fishing at Tumby Bay or watching the local football at Tanunda, or the AFL at Adelaide Oval.
